Challenge #30? … HOLD MY BEER The mechanical beer holder
I made this for my Pop’s as we both always use the saying Hold My Beer (I’m looking at you @Luke ). It was pretty challenging as it is comprised of around 93 parts (not including the 46 nuts and M3 screws) Programing an Arduino and making it move where the fingers and thumb don’t bind and it actually holds a beer!!
Figuring out the geometry and movement of the fingers and thumb was very much trial and error as you can see in the failed parts picture. But hey, every failure is a lesson learned.
Over 50 parts were cut out on my Shapeoko 3XXL mostly plywood with the letters being Expanded PVC. I have attached the files on CutRocket I just uploaded it so its pending (link might not work) Link
Any votes would be appreciated as I just bought a Z-Plus and a VDF spindle would look mighty fine on my machine LOL but good luck to everyone here, some pretty awesome projects!
